God made a specific covenant with Israel—one we would do well to remember!

In Genesis 12, God initiates a plan to redeem mankind. He calls to Abraham and says to him: “. . . I will make you a great nation: I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

According to God Himself, those who bless Abraham and the people and nation he founded—the Jews and Israel—will be blessed. But this is a precarious moment in history. And all of world history continues to be affected by how mankind responds to this particular precept established by God—by how individuals and nations treat the Jews and Israel!
